Effect of the repealing act. The war revenue act of June 13, 1898, as amended, provided for a tax on legacies to become due and payable in one year after the death of the testator, and to be a lien and charge on his property for 20 years.

Such provisions were repealed by the act of April 12, 1902, with a saving clause as to all taxes imposed thereby prior to July 1, 1902, when the repeal took effect.

The act of June 27, 1902, prohibited the further assessment or imposition of any tax under said act "upon or in respect of any contingent beneficial interest which shall not become absolutely vested in possession or enjoyment" prior to July 1, 1902, and required the refunding of taxes previously collected on any such interests. Held, that where a testator who died in December, 1901, bequeathed a share of his residuary estate in trust, the income to be paid to a son during his life, the life estate of the son in the income of the trust property became absolutely vested in enjoyment at once on the death of the testator, and subject to the tax; that the tax was "imposed" by the statute itself at the time of such vesting without reference to the time when it became due and payable or to any act of assessment by the internal revenue officers, which was merely an administrative
